To ensure you are viewing the current list, you may wish to purge this page.

    General

    1. Superseded by TfD October 2020 and later practice - consult regular {{Current}} guidance.
    2. Refrain from using Worldometer (worldometers.info) as a source due to common errors being observed as noted on the Case Count Task Force common errors page. (April 2020, April 2020)
    3. For infoboxes on the main articles of countries, use Wuhan, Hubei, China for the origin parameter. (March 2020)
    4. "Social distancing" is generally preferred over "physical distancing". (April 2020, May 2020)

    Page title

    1. COVID-19 (full caps) is preferable in the body of all articles, and in the title of all articles/category pages/etc.(RM April 2020, including the main article itself, RM March 2021).
    2. SARS-CoV-2 (exact capitalisation and punctuation) is the common name of the virus and should be used for the main article's title, as well as in the body of all articles, and in the title of all other articles/category pages/etc. (June 2022, overturning April 2020)

    Map

    1. There is no consensus about which color schemes to use, but they should be consistent within articles as much as possible. There is agreement that there should be six levels of shading, plus gray   for areas with no instances or no data. (May 2020)
    2. There is no consensus about whether the legend, the date, and other elements should appear in the map image itself. (May 2020)
    3. For map legends, ranges should use fixed round numbers (as opposed to updating dynamically). There is no consensus on what base population to use for per capita maps. (May 2020)

    Spillover infection and SARS-CoV-2

    An editor wants to remove SARS-CoV-2 from the list of spillover infections. Your participation would be appreciated at the relevant discussion. Thank you. — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 16:24, 22 February 2023 (UTC) — Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 16:25, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

    Update for Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice

    Hi there - an article that I created (Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice, a British advocacy group) is in need of an update/overhaul re new information. If anyone is interested in this topic area I would greatly appreciate some more eyes on this. 82.23.242.26 (talk) 18:08, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
